No it is not. The LB 4.04 docs say that the second character is the Virtual Keycode of the key that was pressed. In this case the key pressed was the Tab key, for which the Virtual Keycode is VK_TAB (9).
Also note that when the Tab key is pressed on its own (without the shift key) both LB4 and LBB set Inkey$ to:
Code:
chr$(0) + chr$(9)
So in this case the correct code is used by LB4. If you think Carl deliberately chose to use the wrong code, why didn't he use it for this case as well?
In my opinion it's a bug in LB 4.04, pure and simple.
